Development of Methodology for Measuring Effects of Personal Clothing and Equipment on Combat Effectiveness of Individual Soldiers. Third Partial Report. Phase II. Development of a Methodology for Measuring Infantry Performance in Maneuverability

摘要

The report describes the work performed to develop a reliable method for measuring soldier performance in the essential ingredients of this task under conditions considered representative of combat conditions. A proposed test course was established as a temporary facility and tested for reliability and sensitivity to differences in clothing and equipment using USAGETA Troops. It was determined that the events comprising the tested course provided a practical and useful basis for measuring the maneuverability of individual soldiers. A modified data collection system is recommended for an integrated field course to be evaluated as the next step in the research program. (Author)
